About today

Andrew, brother of Simon Peter, was a disciple of John the Baptist before he followed Jesus and brought Peter to him. The Gospels show him introducing others to the Lord: the boy with loaves, the Greeks who wished to see Jesus. His feast is 30 November, at the door of Advent. The first called is still bringing others. Ask today for a vocation of bringing people, not collecting them, and for the humility of the one who is named as someone’s brother.

Psalm

Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment. For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper. He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.
